Wild Burgundy Snails, a timeless French delicacy, are finally available to gourmands in the United States. Their manufacturer, Henri Maire, has been satisfying the most discriminating palates in France since 1938. Served in the world's finest French restaurants, these are the escargot reserved for dignitaries, movie stars, and the like.

As with all gastronomic delicacies, escargots exhibit varying levels of quality. Henri Marie's snails maintain an unwavering reputation for incomparable products. Their formula is quite simple. They begin with authentic Burgundy snails (Hélix Pomatia Linne), found only in the wild in southeastern France. They are then hand-sorted by size, washed, and cooked in an aromatic bouillon according to the same ancestral standards used in 1894.

There are 116 types of edible snails, and the Helix Pomatia Linne is the unanimously proclaimed champion in terms of flavor and texture. Nicknamed the "Land Lobster", it exhibits a similar texture to lobster, with an earthier flavor. These escargots are 100% natural, low-carb (Atkin's friendly), and have very high nutritive levels. This tin of "Extra Large" escargot contains 36 snails. They are the perfect size for serving as an hors d'oeuvre.

These are our largest wild Escargot and the best choice for stuffing in shells.

Bought as a gift so only can comment on quick delivery and great wrapping-thanks

Best snails

I had Wild Burgundy Extra Large snails before and I tried other ones too. This one are the best I had! Make them with shallots butter, red wine and garlic, delicious! Don't forget a fresh baguette!

Comment on Fracaise

I lived in Lyon, France and would literally pick the snails from my garden. These are awesome.

Best of the lot.

After years of trying all available snail providers, domestic and foreign, I settled on this brand as the best, maybe 8 years ago. Re-ordered many times, never even a hint of disappointment. No affiliation with either the brand or igourmet, except as a buyer.
